INDIAN COUNCIL FOR BUSINESS EDUCATION (R)

Business education has two facets in accomplishing the thirst of business knowledge in an individual – commerce and management. In India two such commerce – oriented professional bodies which took shape to quench this business thirst were the Indian Commerce Association established in 1949 and the Indian Accounting Association started in 1969. Another management related body that came into existence was the All India Management Association in 1957.These professional bodies provide a sectoral approach in imparting and developing business knowledge.

As there was a need for a holistic approach to integrate both commerce and management streams and to have broad policies both at the state and national level, the idea to set up “Indian Council for Business Education (ICBE)” was evolved. With combined efforts of many distinguished luminaries of the academic world (namely Prof.B.C.Sanjeevaiah, Prof.M.B.Shukla, Prof K.Viyyanna Rao, Prof.N.S.Pandey, Prof.M.Muninarayanappa, and hosts of others), the ICBE was established in 2014 with an object of bringing together the commerce and management professionals under one roof of business education.
